Smartlink

Multi-Journey (MJ) Smarklink fares offer considerable savings on cash fares. The Smartlink MJ Card can be loaded with a number of journeys from 5 to a maximum of 40 in multiples of 5 journeys (5, 10, 15, 20 etc). The card can hold a maximum of 50 journeys. Smartlink MJ Card journeys are valid for 3 months from when you first purchase the card. Then, each time you ‘top up’ your Smartlink MJ Card all valid unused journeys have their validity extended for a further 3 months.

Any journeys not used within 3 months of a top-up will be lost. The expiry date is shown on your ticket receipt each time you use your card on a bus. When you buy your Smartlink MJ Card, you will pay a one-off charge of £1.50 for the card.

The prices for a Smartlink MJ Card (first purchase and topping up) for adults and children are as follows:

N.B. All fares are subject to alteration. Inner Zone Cards can only be used to travel distances covered by the minimum cash fare.

* The extended Zone includes Newtownabbey, Monkstown, Rathcoole, Twinbrooke, Poleglass, Lagmore, Dunmurry, Conway, Ballybeen and Holywood Exchange. Belvoir Estate and Tullycarnett are within the City Zone.

Smartlink Travel Cards are also available and can be used for unlimited weekly or monthly travel across the entire Metro network. The cost of this card is £14.00 for a weekly card and £53.00 for the monthly card. Again, a one-off charge of £1.50 is applicable when you first buy a card.
